    I'm running out of UK bookies
    William Hill,Stan James,Victor Chandler,Eurobet...... after my balance at them shows slight profit they showed me the door out .Is there any chance to fight back such bookies?

    Not really I am afraid - they are a business like any other and if they dont want to deal with you then sadly there isnt much you can do about it, just win what you can and move onto the next one...

      Bet365, they will limit you BUT if you don't play for like a year or two they lift it, at least it my case they did but I very very rarely use them. They are the KING of Asian Handicap betting.

          Doesnt necessarily matter - more often than not the book won't distinguish between the two as usually the Arb price is also the Best price as well.

                certainly not my experience ... I still found it difficult after about 4 years to bet even $3.65 !

                they'd closed my old account and so I had to open a new one to test them out .. but they remembered me!

                  there is really no way.
                  but still you will get very good prices at betfair or ponnacle, or asian bookies for soccer handicaps.
                  you cant chase steam forever, but you can always get very good price if you shop.

                    It seems the UK bookies are quick to limit you to peanuts. I always imagined that the Brits would be more fair in this regard what with their legalised and regulated sports gambling industry. That's one thing some of the US facing books still have in their arsenal and that is, they are not afraid to take some action...at least for a while.

                      Yep, and now they're in the course of taking over all the Aussie books too and the same thing's happening here.

                      Thankfully we've still got Pinnacle, SBO and the exchanges.

                            Pinnacle is for sure the best , but you dont have props like uk bookies you can have more that 100beting option for any simple game.

                                Yes,that's way I like UK(euro) bookies.If Pinnacle would have such betting options I would never opened account at any other book.
